My 150 Favorite Movies - #114

Fargo (1996)


The Coen brothers introduced Minnesota parlance to the mainstream in this story about a kidnapping, ransom, and other murderous activities. Frances McDormand (aka Mrs. Joel Coen) won an Oscar for playing a cop that doesn't let being seven months pregnant get in the way of her solving the case. William H. Macy makes for a tragicomic antihero, and Steve Buscemi plays a kidnapper who meets an unorthodox end. Fargo won an Oscar for Best Film of 1996.
